Unescape

By Stephen Chapman, About.com

Definition: The unescape built-in function converts all of the hexadecimal number equivalent preceded by a % back to the original character. This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called unescape but if you do then you will not be able to use the built-in function.
Examples:
var ordtxt = unescape(extxt);
